Question

CHALLENGE Randi and her sister made balloon animals and sold them for $0.50 each at

a school carnival. They made $48.00. If Randi made twice as many balloon animals as
her sister, how many balloon animals did each girl make? Show your work.

Answer 1

Just need to set up an equation.
List what we know Randi made twice what sister did.

So 2X = Randi balloons made
X= Sister balloons made
We also know they made 0.5 for each animal so sales made / price = number sold
2X + X = 48/0.5
3X = 96
X = 32
So Randi made 64 And her sister made 32.
Cause 2X = Randi and X = sister
